SFS was established by Edmund A. Walsh with the goal of preparing Americans for various international professions in the wake of expanding U.S. involvement in world affairs after World War I. Today, the school hosts a student body of approximately 2,250 from over 100 nations each year. It offers an undergraduate program based in the liberal arts, which leads to the Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service (BSFS) degree, as well as eight interdisciplinary graduate programs.[1]
History
20th century
With the help of Georgetown University president Fr. John B. Creeden, S.J., Fr. Walsh spearheaded the founding of the School of Foreign Service and its establishment was announced on November 25, 1919.[2][3] The school's use of the name “Foreign Service” preceded the formal establishment of the U.S. Foreign Service by six years. The school was envisioned by Fr. Walsh to prepare students for all major forms of foreign representation from commercial, financial, consular to diplomatic.[8]
In 1958, two years after the death of Fr. Walsh, the school was renamed after him[13] and moved to the Walsh Building in a ceremony dedicated by President Eisenhower in honor of Fr. Walsh.[14]
From 1975 until 2016 the school's Institute for the Study of Diplomacy awarded the Edward Weintal Prize for Diplomatic Reporting to one or more journalists in recognition of their distinguished reporting on foreign policy and diplomacy.[17] The prize is named for the Polish-born American journalist Edward Weintal, who was a diplomatic correspondent for 25 years with Newsweek and then consultant with the United States Information Agency.[18]
21st century
In June 2023, the administrators announced the plan to rename the school in honor of the late Madeleine Albright, who served as a professor at SFS both before and after her tenure as U.S. secretary of state. It attracted criticism due to Albright's controversial legacy and the lack of consultation with the school's community members.[19][20] In October 2023, Georgetown announced that it was no longer considering renaming the school after Albright.[21]
Academics
Undergraduate program
The Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service (BSFS) degree is offered by the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. The degree is rooted in the liberal arts. Following completion of the core requirements, students declare one of the following interdisciplinary majors:
Science, Technology, & International Affairs (STIA) [29]
There is also a joint degree — Bachelor of Science in Business and Global Affairs — offered in partnership with the McDonough School of Business (MSB).[30]
Graduate program
Graduate students can pursue eight interdisciplinary graduate degrees in the school:[31]
Additionally, exceptional undergraduate SFS students can apply for the accelerated bachelor’s/master’s dual-degree program, which allows enrollment in one of the graduate programs (e.g. BSFS/MSFS, BSFS/MASIA, etc.) during the final undergraduate year and completion of both degrees in approximately five years.[32][33]
Certificates
Georgetown offers a number of undergraduate certificate programs: African studies, Arab studies, Asian studies, Australian & New Zealand studies, German and European studies, international business diplomacy, international development, Muslim-Christian understanding, Jewish civilization, justice & peace studies, Latin American studies, medieval studies, Russian & East European studies, social & political thought, and women's and gender studies.
Rankings
Georgetown's programs in international relations have consistently ranked among the best in the world in surveys of the field's academics that have been published biennially since 2005 by Foreign Policy.[34] In 2014 and in 2018 Foreign Policy ranked Georgetown's master's programs first in the world and its bachelor's programs fourth.[35] In 2024, Georgetown's master's programs were ranked first by all three groups of respondents: international relations faculty, policymakers, and think tank staffers. Its bachelor's programs were ranked first by policymakers and think tank staffers and third by international relations faculty.[36]
In a survey of makers of American foreign-policy from 2011, Georgetown ranked second overall in the quality of preparation for a career in the U.S. government, regardless of degree earned.[37] In 2023, U.S. News & World Report ranked Georgetown fifth for graduate studies in global policy and administration.[38] In 2024, Niche ranked Georgetown first in the United States for international relations.[39]
Student life
There are a vast array of clubs and student organizations at Georgetown University that students from the School of Foreign Service join. The elected representative organization of the SFS is the SFS Academic Council, also known as the SFSAC. The SFSAC advocates for the SFS student body and works with the Dean's Office to address student concerns, spearhead new initiatives, and coordinate events. In addition to elected representatives, the SFSAC has several committees, including Community Service and Outreach, Special Events, Professional Development, General Membership, Diversity Equity and Inclusion, and Communications.
In November 2023, the president of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, announced the Walsh School of Foreign Service planned to partner with the Indonesian government to open a satellite campus in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2024.[40][41] The campus, known as Georgetown SFS Asia-Pacific (GSAP), is expected to open in January 2025.[42][43]

Statistical sampling technique Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) is a statistical method for generating a near-random sample of parameter values from a multidimensional distribution. The sampling method is often used to construct computer experiments or for Monte Carlo integration. LHS was described by Michael McKay of Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1979.[1] An independently equivalent technique was proposed by Vilnis Eglājs in 1977.[2] It was further elaborated by Ronald L.
